Equilibrium Signaling in Spatially Inhomogeneous Diffusion and External Forces

Abstract

Complex fluid media where molecules are susceptible to forces due, for example, to external magnetic fields, complicates the design of molecular communication systems. In particular, the equations governing the motion of each molecule in time do not typically admit tractable solutions, which makes receiver design challenging for standard communication schemes; e.g., based on concentration shift keying. In this paper, a new communication scheme is proposed, which leads to simple expressions for receiver statistics, even when spatially inhomogeneous diffusion and external forces are present. The proposed scheme exploits the equilibrium statistics of the system, which arise in a wide range of scenarios. This approach is illustrated in a bounded system with inhomogeneous diffusion and external forces determined by a quadratic potential.
